Lots of other reasons to get pastured beef too: it supports local farmers over industrial grain monocultures, and it probably won't kill you.

Where is the 'probably won't kill you coming from' Local farmers are still subject to USDA regulations. On Mon, Sep 16, 2013 at 5:05 PM, James Nylen <[hidden email]> wrote:

Grain and grain-fed are crap from a nutritional standpoint. Omega 6 to 3 ratio is too high which promotes inflammation, low in vitamins B, E, and K and other nutrients and trace minerals. Grass-fed beef does a lot better in all of those categories. Industrial agriculture is an ecological disaster as well.

Ecological disaster, sure, but less likely to kill you? 'Kill' and 'Inflammations' are a little different. On Mon, Sep 16, 2013 at 5:19 PM, James Nylen <[hidden email]> wrote:

I think there's a significant correlation between inflammation and shorter / poorer quality lifespan. Poor diets are known to cause chronic systemic inflammation, which is linked to a variety of diseases. Here's an article - unfortunately they don't mention their sources but that's the kind of stuff I'm talking about.

'Kill' and > 'Inflammations' are a little different. > My take on the whole "less likely to kill you" bit is that at least you have a better idea where your meat is coming from, especially if you buy directly from the farmer/rancher and you know the butcher doing the butchering. I've seen horror stories about the quality of the meat coming from the commercial farmers and slaughter houses/butchers. If I had the capacity to buy meat in bulk, I'd buy it from the local guys every time. _______________________________________________ Chugalug mailing list [hidden email] http://chugalug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/chugalug |
